beneath the surface ... Neutral Labs Elmyra 2 ... ambient

A first test flight with the Neutral Labs Elmyra 2. I´m REALLY blown away by the dark, beautifully textured und distorted sound that comes out of this little box. The built-in sequencer is a significant part of its charm and makes the Elmyra an inspiring playground.
It's a blessing to get send a great device and the only payment for it is to make music with it, which is just inspiring and fun.
Elmyra runs through Valhalla Room.
Recorded in on take into Ableton.
Mastered in post.
Music in HQ is available on Patreon.
The great support from my patrons makes all of this possible ... thank you so much guys !!

Epic ! Loved it !

[@trnngthngs]

Truly the most beautiful piece I have heard come out of that device. Just gorgeous.

[@4winged0celo7]

Wth is this funky lil device??!! Looks like a lyra meets a crave

[@substan_music]

As the name suggests, it's definitely inspired by the Lyra... but it's its own beast... digital, dark, distorted.

[@JonManness]

You could score an entire film with this synth! Great music!

[@mesozoicmusic]

This thing is amazing and you play it beautifully.

[@MoOkOoO]

[@JosuaKarlson]

This is amazing! Reminds me a bit of rbeny...

[@substan_music]

Thanks a lot mate !!

[@bill77]

Very nice! Elmyra 2 is a fun little box. What do you think of the whole "preset card" thing?

[@substan_music]

Thanks !! Yes its a great playground. I have to take a closer look at the cards. The first impression is that they only make a subtle difference in the type of distortion. Or to put it another way, you only notice the difference when you use the "OUCH" section very intensively... which creates very extreme sounds.

[@bulentkamali]

Is it possible to connect it to a midi?

[@nyppy]

You'll need a MIDI to CV converter. There are also keyboards and sequencers that output CV.

[@bulentkamali]

@@nyppy Thank you for your kind response.
